Things have been going okay so far. I still feed him chicken thighs but without the skin and fat. There were several mornings when Hoshi was throwing up bile. I’m not sure why but I suspect it was the fatty skin. I’m not very handy in the kitchen but I’ve learned how to remove the skin and fat pretty well. They do sell skinless thighs in the grocery store but they’re a $1.00 more and don’t looked completely skinned to me. So far, Hoshi hasn’t thrown up with the skinless thighs.<\/p>\n
I still hand feed him. Do any of you give whole portions like I’m doing? He’s gotten pretty good at pulling the meat off the bone. He also likes the bone now too. I did try drumsticks but stopped because there seemed to be more sharp pieces of bone. It also had more gristle and Hoshi’s poops were too soft. Overall, Hoshi’s poops are slightly firmer. I will mention, I am still giving him kibble. That may be affecting his stool.<\/p>\n
I give Hoshi about two meals day (one thigh per meal). Sometimes if he’s really hungry he’ll eat two thighs. I have noticed some improvements in his appearance. His nose looks wetter. Before it was looking dry. Gabby had the same problem. Gabby’s nose was dry and scaly–maybe that was due to diet. Hoshi’s eye’s also have more of a twinkle. He’s eye’s must be moister. Hoshi’s breath is also better. It must be because of the bones. To be honest, I haven’t been brushing his teeth like I should. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
